I love using this egg white and lemon hair mask on my long Indian hair to make them grow faster and shine brighter. Today I am sharing the recipe of this hair mask that I have been using for years and years now and it had never ceased to show its magic on my hair.

This is a hair mask recipe that I actually learned from my childhood best friend grandma. This is the recipe that her grandma use to make for her and she had the most beautiful and thick lustrous jet black hair.

So, today, I am sharing this recipe so you all can have that amazing hair too. Enjoy!

Diy Egg White And Lemon Hair Mask

When her grandma was making this egg white and lemon hair mask, she actually used whole eggs(both egg whites and egg yolks) but I am just using egg white here. The reason being egg yolks stink a lot and I just cannot bare the smell. Even after good smelling shampoo the stinky egg feeling is still there and it just freaks me out.

Just start partying small sections of your hair and apply this hair mask concentrating on your scalp then hair length and finally make sure to apply a generous amount on your tips. Wear a shower cap or a plastic bag to prevent dripping and drying of the hair mask.

 

Notes

  1. Leave this hair mask on for 1 to 2 hours and then remove it using COLD Water. This is a must. Reason being that with hot water, the egg starts forming chunks and sticks to your hair. So make sure you remove this hair mask with COLD WATER and then shampoo and condition your hair as you always do.
  2. Just after the first application you will notice some difference. You hair will appear more healthy, shiny and smooth.
  3. You need to keep using this egg white and lemon hair mask once a week for at least a month to notice hair growth and controlled hair loss.
  4. This hair mask will help you treat dandruff or any kind of scalp infections that you have. Plus it removes buildup, regrows new hair and would fight split ends too.

Hi Prasanna,

I have seen wonderful results when I applied hair masks twice a week. So I would recommend you to use the hair mask of your choice once every 15 days.

You can apply hair masks whenever you prefer. No need to do hair spa every time. :)

Use plain or unflavored yogurt. Castor oil gives much better results but you can use olive oil too
